2nd -625 - moved stance in a little, sunk it and blew it up, 3 whites, and a 45 pounds pr
3rd, 675, deep, felt good and strong, 3 whites, for a 95 pounds pr in the squat over last meet.

Bench
1st-440- easy opener to stay in the meet, 3 whites
2nd-505- strong, 5 lb pr, 3 whites
3rd, 525, didnt stay tight, ran out of gas, no chance on this one

Deadlift
1st-550- easy opener, 3 whites
2nd-605- strong, 5 lb pr, 3 w
3rd- 620- this was a tough one, i was tired, but managed to grunt it out and get it, 3w

overall i had a good meet. totaled 1800, which is a 285 pound pr over my last full meet in march (1515, 580s, 335bp, 600dl) and and 5 lb bench pr over my bench meet in august.

Well 1-dawg got his elite, he lifted on saturday so I wasn't there (to busy eating) got to meet him on Sunday and finally met Bob Y, I lost 10lbs to make the 275's never had to make weight, but won the pro open with a 2240 total : Squat 750 was easy- 825 flew 875 I got forward and grinded it out, Bench 550 easy 575 easy 600 easier than 575. DEADLIFT 675 felt heavy 725 easy (for a 2200total) 765 for a pr and total. Thought I could pull 805 but the last squat killed me and wanted a total before going after 805 still had maybe 20 in me but kept safe. There was alot of good lifting and alot of bad form-fri a guy I know squatted with his knees coming in and broke his leg and torn an acl, sat a guy from our gym hurt his bicep and another blew a knee, sunday 5 guys in front of me on third attempt a young guy blew a knee BAD. Overall it was a fast and very well run great meet. Free gatorade, power bars, fruit and t shirt for the lifters. This was top run meet to go to. The judging also was uniform and fair to the rules. Oh Previous pr total was 2065

yeah it was a good meet, natural-mike, i wore a inzer dbl champ( which by the way is the last time i will order a suit for inzer untill somthing changes my mind, they can not fit a suit for shit, my mom had to do way to much work on it.) i wore frantz poly breifs(which are very nice, and gave me good rebound) for the bench i was wearing a borrowed shirt from one of the guys i train with, its an inzer denim. for the deadlift just the breifs and a singlet(already hard to get to the bar with no gear, so a suit would have killed me.) i think for my next meet i will try out a titan boss or a canvas suit, probably boss becuase i want some rebound, and i hear the canvas doesnt give too much rebound.

 

[natural-mike]

Thanks for the info.

Its always helpful to hear opinions on gear, things like what helped, what didn't etc.

Thanks again.

Great stuff.

Mike

DBCooper, 1-dawg, liftbig : great job! This board needs more competitors!

DB... are you in the 275s or 308s? Are you going to go to the APF Nats?

I flew up to help a friend out at it. I was very impressed with the meet and the amazing numbers. Very impressive lifts guys. Judging was as fair as any meet i have been to and lifting was very well run. I was amazed at the equipment used as far as bars and mono lifts. I think that all meets could benefit from great equipment like this both on the platform and in the warm up room. Congrats to both of you. I think Bob totaled around 1950 or more.

It was pretty scary watching both of those guys blow their knees. Both blew ACL and MCL clean off. But it was do to them iether lifting with poor form letting the knees come way in from a wide stance or the wiehgt being to heavy for thier knees. I see that as being the only bad thing about canvas and denim is that young guys that have not built up the proper bases and strnght in their joints/tendons think they can just get under the wieght and let the suit do the work. the second guy was obviosly unstable with the wiehgt and i was supprised to see him even atempt it after his first and second lifts. I wish them both speedy recoveries.

 

[1-dawg]

You were friggin there?? And you didn't come up and say something. Oh man, I hate that. I know you are here in Florida and I am pretty sure I have seen you lift before. Oh well, I am sure I will see you at Kidder's meet.

 

[k1401]

Damn, I should have realized a bunch of you guys would be there.
I was helping a buddy of mine in the 275's bench, I probably bumped into all of you and didn't know it.

Good job to all, damn shame about the guys blowing out there knees.

 

[Liftbig]

i was there on sun for the 275s i was the big tall guy with the shaved head and goatee lol. really i am about 6'6' 400 pound, im told i look much older than i am.

 

[power-builder]

Congrats guys, great lifts.

 

[DBCooper]

Yeah Bob was seated right next to me in the warmup room, and I 'm in the 275's, was thinking on the APF Seniors in Cali in June not sure yet. Oh Liftbig a shaved head and goatee aint to specific lol everyone looks that way. The deadlift bars had the best grip than any bar I've ever tried I'm suprised if anyone had a grip problem.I told Dave Hi for ya and still have'nt seen jerry O yet.lol

 

[k1401]

that REALLY narrows it down Liftbig!

you probably had to step OVER me then.....
